Bagging three points against Leicester on Friday night would prevent Wenger fending off more questions on his future.

But you get the feeling he might decide fall on his sword if hopes are not fulfilled come next May.

Pochettino take his Tottenham side to Wembley while their new ground is being built.

They are paying around £12m in rent, on top of the massive outlay for the stadium revamp.

Spurs have yet to buy a player this summer, bringing back memories of days when Wenger’s financial hands were tied because of Arsenal’s move to the Emirates Stadium.

Much again will rely on Harry Kane and Dele Alli. Eleven clubs have won the Premier League title with a points total equal to or less than Tottenham’s final tally of 86 last season, while their goal difference of plus-60 is the highest for a non-title winning side.

Pochettino has produced wonders. Much will depend on him yet again. Spurs need him to stay around. Take your seats.
